The <a href="license.html">MIT License</a> is a permissive license that is short and to the point. It lets people do anything with your code with proper attribution and without warranty.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>jQuery</strong> and <strong>Rails</strong> use the MIT License.

<h3>I'm concerned about patents.</h3>
|

<p>
|
||
The <a href="license.html">Apache License</a> is a permissive license similar to the MIT License, but it provides a patent license for any code that infringes on a contributor’s patents.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Apache</strong>, <strong>SVN</strong>, and <strong>NuGet</strong> use the Apache License.

<h3>I care about reciprocity.</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The GPL (<a href="license.html">V2</a> or <a href="license.html">V3</a>) requires that folks who modify your code also license their changes under the GPL. V3 is similar to V2, but adds a restriction restricting use in hardware that forbids software alterations.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Linux</strong> and <strong>Git</strong> use the GPL.
